A Plea for the Birds.

Aside from its Incompatible song and
its bright, vivacious ways, the mocking
bird is of great value to those who own
orchards or vineyards. No bird, if we
except the cat Third, is so great destroyer
of insects, grubs and larva that infest
orange, pear, pecan and peach trees. and
whoever has observed closely will admit
that no scuppernong vine should be
without its mocking bird to defend it
from ita enemies. When you suffer the
mocking. birds to be destroyed you permit
the doom of fruit growing to be sealed on
the Gulf coast. Twenty years ago the
apple, peach, and pear crops of Indiana
were superabundant; now they are
scarcely of any value in general way /;
the secret is the destruction of insectiv
erous birds. In India, as on the Gulf
coast, the climate has had 10 bear all the
blame, while the shotgun, the net, and
the snare have been doing the work !;
still the truth remains that it is no colder
now than it was forty years ago, when
fruit trees hourished in Indiana ana
when the orange trees were loaded every
year all round the Gulf coast.-Ne,u

Died While in Bathing.

On last Thursday, at Col. C.S. Nc.
Calls mill, near town, about 6 o'clock
p. M, Mr.. Henry B. Easterling went in
bathing in company with Messrs. John
Mcintosh and Jack Grassland, and was
seemingly as we'll as ever. Shortly after
getting into the water they entered into
a tussel over melon which they bad
with them, and in a few seconds Mr..
Easterling turned and went to shallow
water. After he had reached place
where the water was only about two feet
deep he kept turning about as if playing
in the water, and nothing wrong was
suspected for the moment. But in few
seconds it was noticed that he was
remaining under water rather long, and
upon taking hold of him they found he
was dying. He was Immediately taken
out and every thing possible done to
restore life, but all of no avail. In a
short time he was dead. Early next
morning the corner held an inquest over
the body of the deceased and the verdict
of the jury of inquest was, in substance,
that deceased came to his death by drown
ing, which was superinduced by an
attack of asthma, congestion, epilepsy, or
some other cause which for the time dis.
abled him.
Mr.. Easterling was good swimmer,
and we are informed would not have
drowned where he was if not disabled in
some way, and as he was subject to asth'
ma it is thought probably that he had
congestion,

The Skin Of the Earth.

We talk a good deal about boring and
digging into the bowels of the earth. 1t
is mistake. We have never reached the
bowels of the earth any more than the
bill of gnat that pricks you on the
abdomen reaches your bowels.
The human skin is about one two hun.
dreths and fiftieth of the diameter of the
body; allow the earth skin proper.
tiouately thick aud it will be 30 miles
through.
The deepest borings have been aboat
half mile, not through the false or outer
layer of skin; not near to the CUTS vera.
The highest mountains have only shown
us what may be about one fifteenth the
thickness of the earth's skin. Could we
go through this thick hide into the real
flesh and blood of the earth what won
ders might be discovered !
At the last session of Congress there
was movement to get an appropriation
to bore hole as deep as it could posi-
bly, be made under the diction of the
best engineers, but it failed. Money so
appropriated would be spent to much
better purpose than that appropriated for
explorations to the north pole and many
other objects.
The heat and gasses of the earth's inte
rior are to be the forces of the futnre for
motor power, lightning and heating. A
bore 10, Is, 20, 80 miles deep may be
impossible, but he is not wise who says
impossible of anything within human
endeavor.
We simply mean that, since so much
has been discovered by merely scratching
and puncturing the false skin of the
earth, might not wonderful results be
obtained by reaching through its skin?

A Great Movement.

According to the statistical report of
the Sunday schools in the United States
rendered at the late international Con.
veution held in Chicago, there has been
an increase in the scholar membership of
all the Sunday schools in the United
States since 1854 of 365,G45. 1t is in
teresting to know by what agencies this
increase has been secured, for it shows
that great missionary work has been
done to bring an army Of 365,OOO into
active membership with our Sunday
schools. No more important work can
be conceived of, for it has to do with the
destiny of our entire country.
The three last annual reports Of the
American Sunday School Union, the old
undenominational society "that cares for
the children" who are provided for by
no one else, show that since 1884 it has
brought 1S5, 1884 children into 4,947 new
Sunday schools, a number equal to 5000
more than one half of all the increase
reported as having been secured by this
and all other agencies during these three
years. But this American Sunday
School Union did more than this-it
aided 1925 other schools, which have
46,774 teachers and 515,714 scholars-so
that in these three years it reached 1872
communities and Sunday schools, and
7OO,74S children aud youth, and then
reaided and revisited these schools 9,245
times, besides making 92,5S4 visits to
families, supplying 4o,0l9 destitute per-
sons with the scriptures and holding 27,-
247 religious meetings. That there is
great need for more of just such work in
our country is evident from the fact that
according to the international secretary's
report there are but 8,034,47S scholars in
all the Sunday Schools in the United
States, that report to this convention,
which the chairman of the Executive
Committee said was FIVE per cent. too
small. If FIVE per cent. we're added, we
have s, ,436, POI scholars in all our Sunday
Schools. But the statement was made
that 20 per cent. should be deducted for
those over twenty one and under six years
of age and those who attend more than
one school and are counted twice, which
deducted would leave 6,74S,96l chill.
dren and youth of school age in all our
Sunday Schools, while there are at least
100000 more children of that age in
our country, and very likely most of
them attend no Sunday School.
Truly the American Sunday School
Union is doing great work, for present
and future America, for which there is
most urgent need. Any who would like
to read its last annual report, or aid its
work by gift of funds may send to

A Preachers Case.

In Georgia city lives popular divine

occasionally. Here is one We caught on

Once party went fishing. There was
some snake medicine along, and one C
more of the party took too much abroad.
In the evening terrific storm came up.
AS it was nearing the party one, more
pious than the rest, knelt down at the
root of a tree and began to pray for pro-
lection. About the same time one of
those who had tapped the jug too often
shouted:
"Come ahead, you blasted old cyclone!

When he closed, the humble supplicant
at the root of the tree raised his Mortified

drunk, as you can see for yourself, and he

Incinerated by TurpentIne.

A frightiul accident occurred at the
turpentine distillery of billiard Goodwin
in the upper part Of Sandy Run Town
ship, Lexington County, on Tuesday
morning.
Tom Griffin (white) who attends the
still, went into the still house just before
day with kerosene lamp, and by his
careless handling overturned barrel of
spirits and set fire to its contents. BE
made desperate effort to extinguish the
burning fluid with sand from the floor
but in an incredibly short time the flames
communicated with the hot spirits in the
still, and all the stock about the building
and Griffin and the entire establishment
was burned up in sight of Mr.. Goodwin
and several Others who were powerless to
render any assistance to the burning man,
or stay the progress of the flames.
Grifin's body was entirely consumed
by the herce name, ano When the IRE
exhausted itself no part of his remains
could be found.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The Orangeburg correspondent of the
Register gives another account of the dis.
aster, as follows:
''News reached here to day of the.
burning of billiard Goodwin's turpentine
still, in Lexington County, night before
last. The stiller, white man named
Thomas Griffin, aud negro, were rolling
some spirit barrels away from the fire,
when one of the barrels exploded in their
hands, and instantly enveloped them in
flames. Both men were literally burnt to
ashes s."-C1lun,bid Reoister. ,July 81.

Josh Billings on Marriage.

Sum marry bekause they have been
highsted sum war else; this is cross
match, bay and sorrel: pride makes
it endurable.
Sum marry for love, without cent in
their pocket nor q friend in the world,
nor a drop of pedigree. This looks
desperate, but it il the strength of the
game.
Sum marry bekause they think vim.
min will be scarce next year, and live TO
wonder how the crop holds out.
Sum marry to get rid of themselves,
and discover that the game was one that
two could play at, and neither win.
Sum marry the second time to get even,
and find it gambling game, the more
they put down the less they take up.
Sum marry, they CART tell why, and
live, they can't tell how.
Almost everybody gets married, and its
a good joke.
Sum marry in haste, and then sits
down and thinks its carefully over.
Some think it over carefully fust, and
then set down and marry.
Both ways are right if they hit the
mark.
Sum marry rakes to convert them.
This is little risky, and takes smart
missionary to do it.
Sum marry coquetts. This is like buy
ing poor land, heavily mortgaged, and
working the balance of yure days to keep
clear oph the mortgage.
But after all, married life il as uncer.
tain as the dry goods business.
No man can swear exactly whar he
will fetch up when he touches calico.
No man can tell just what calico has
made up its mind to do next.
